There was a mobile phone catalog app, an app for coffee connoisseurs, and even an app to control a quadcopter drone. The drone app was profiled in BerryReview.

Which brings me to the next cool thing. I’m pleased to announce the preview availability of the BlackBerry SDK. Unlike the GitHub version, the BlackBerry SDK is fully integrated into Titanium Studio. You can download the Studio and the SDK previews for BlackBerry from the Appcelerator preview site. There is also now a Google Group setup to support Titanium BlackBerry development.
